Answer:

Rate constant = 0.01238 days⁻¹

Explanation:

The first order reaction has as general equation:

Ln[A] = -kt + Ln[A]₀

<em>Where [A] is concentration of the reactant after time t,</em>

<em>k is rate constant</em>

<em>And [A]₀ the initial concentration of the reactant</em>

<em />

The half-life is the time required to reach the half of the initial concentration. If [A]₀ = 1; [A] = 1/2

Replacing:

Ln[1/2] = -kt + Ln[1]

-0.693 = -k*56days

0.01238days⁻¹ = k

<h3>Rate constant = 0.01238 days⁻¹</h3>

The Spirit of America Goodyear blimp has a volume of 2.027×105 ft3.When the blimp is in operation, it is filled with helium gas.
Andru [333]
Answer: 1.027 x 10^6 g= 1027kg
In this question, you are given the volume of the blimp (2.027×10^5 ft^3) and the density of the gas(0.179g/L). To answer this question, you need to convert the volume unit into liter. The calculation would be: 2.027×10^5 ft^3 x 28.3168L/ft3= 57.398 x 10^5L= 5.74x10^6L

Then to find the mass, multiply the volume with the density. The calculation would be: 5.74x10^6L x 0.179g/L= 1.027 x 10^6 g= 1027kg

When iron metal reacts with oxygen, the reaction can form Fe2O3. Write a balanced chemical equation for this reaction, and find
ryzh [129]
The balanced equation is 
4Fe+3O₂⇒2Fe₂O₃

We know that the mole of Fe₂O₃ is 6, and since the ratio between oxygen and <span>Fe₂O₃ is 3:2, we can see that

3:2 = x:6 (3 oxygen moles can make 2 </span>Fe₂O₃ moles = x oxygen moles can make 6 <span>Fe₂O₃ moles)
</span><span>
Multiply outside and inside (3*6 , 2*x) and put them on opposing sides of the equation

2*x = 3*6
2x=18
x=9
Therefore 9 moles of oxygen is needed.
